the useful ami the ornamental. She
might Ktid about, roll on sofas, gossip
and read story boohs, but she prefers
to be ot some account lu the world

saleslady or housekeeper, and bravely
makes her own way. Such are the

During the extreme drouth which we
have been experiencing during the
past throe weeks tme heard but little
grumbling. Nebraska people have
learned that nothing really nottnts but
the finish. However gloomy condi

born of past experience that a good
rain falling at any lime would turn a
failure Into a .success. We ffow know
that nearly ever .season we lose all of
our crops about six times, then we liar
vest an abundance. If we do not get
all we want we got all we can and the
world moves on. Perhaps no stale In
